The Game with Fairies-Chapter 333
A cold wind brushed through the forest path, causing Li Muyang to frown slightly.
The ability to predict and divine was something that existed only in legends.
In this age of decline, even the Purple Mansion realm was the pinnacle of the cultivation world, and immortals had completely vanished.
He did not believe that Lord Shanyang had the ability to foresee the future.
But if it wasn’t divination, could it be that the other party had sent someone to monitor his movements?
Is that how they managed to intercept him here?
The two paper figures continued to smile splendidly, saying,
“Replying to the Dragon King, we have been waiting here for many days for the Dragon King.”
“Lord Shanyang said that the Dragon King would eventually come out, so he instructed us to wait here.”
The answer from the two paper figures resolved the confusion.
Li Muyang fell silent without a word.
This response left him somewhat speechless.
That Lord Shanyang actually had two paper figures waiting here all this time?
Paper figures aren’t human, so they can be exploited at will?
After pondering for a moment, Li Muyang shook his head.
“I still have matters to attend to. Once I finish what I need to do, I will visit Lord Shanyang.”
Although he could have agreed directly, Li Muyang wanted to see how the two paper figures would react to his refusal.
The paper figures on both sides of the road smiled brilliantly and bowed.
“Then we will report back to Lord Shanyang truthfully. Lord Shanyang resides atop Yangshou Mountain, waiting for the Dragon King to grace us with her presence.”
After speaking, the two sinister paper figures drifted away with a cheerful demeanor.
They left so decisively that Li Muyang’s refusal did not provoke any attack from the paper figures.
Watching the backs of the two departing paper figures, the voice of the Dragon Maiden echoed in his ears.
“…Li Muyang, this Lord Shanyang doesn’t seem like a good person…”
These two eerie paper figures exuded malevolence, causing a visceral discomfort.
Even Lord Shanyang, who controlled the paper figures, was disliked by the Dragon Maiden.
But Li Muyang shook his head and said,
“We’ll have to meet it sooner or later. Lord Shanyang has clues about the Dragon Spine Sword, and we need the Dragon Spine Sword.”
The immortal sword forged from the spine of an Ancient True Dragon would undoubtedly be powerful.
Moreover, it was a special task from the system, and refining it would surely be beneficial.
This Dragon Spine Sword must be an extremely important system item in this game.
But for Li Muyang, the most important thing now was to resolve the crisis of life and death.
He didn’t want to seek out Lord Shanyang just yet.
During a conversation with Chu Qingxue in a lakeside pavilion earlier, he had learned about some situations beyond the Great Wall and had a general understanding of the forces there.
This Lord Shanyang seemed to have lived for many years.
He was the second immortal being in the current world, aside from Master Qingye.
Who knows what this fellow is all about? It would be better to meet him later.
After declining the invitation from the two paper figures, Li Muyang continued along the road ahead with the weasel’s soul.
The mountain where the unfortunate weasel had lived and cultivated was not far from the pass.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have had the misfortune of being chosen by two wandering immortals and forced to enter the pass.
Li Muyang asked for directions and quickly found the mountain the weasel had mentioned.
It was a small mountain covered with pine trees and dense needles.
The mountain air was slightly tainted with miasma and demon qi, similar to that of the weasel.
At the foot of the mountain, there was even a temple dedicated to the weasel, a dilapidated little temple where the unlucky weasel was worshipped.
Li Muyang arrived outside the temple and released the weasel’s soul, which floated in the air for a while, seemingly regaining some of its senses.
It joyfully floated around for a while and then knelt before Li Muyang, bowing several times like a human.
“Thank you, Dragon King, for sending this little demon’s soul back home…”
The weasel smiled happily and then cried,
“There won’t be another deity as kind as the Dragon King in this northern land.”
The weeping weasel’s spirit dissipated into a wisp of smoke in its temple, seemingly merging with the land.
As the weasel’s soul vanished, the clay statue of the weasel in the dilapidated temple also cracked open with a loud noise.
Watching this scene, Li Muyang felt a sense of melancholy.
The weasel’s reverence for him stemmed from his slaying of evil spirits.
It was a pity that Li Muyang couldn’t help the weasel any further.
After sighing a few times outside the ruined temple, Li Muyang turned and left.
He was on his way to find the Mother Buddha Temple.
For Li Muyang, the Mother Buddha Temple was an essential stop on his journey beyond the Great Wall.
The evil women sent by the Mother Buddha Temple into the pass each carried a White Bone Tai Sui, consuming which could greatly increase experience points.
So, could there be more White Bone Tai Sui inside the gates of the Mother Buddha Temple?
At this moment, Li Muyang’s temples were spread throughout the northern counties beyond the pass, with an astonishing number of over 1.8 million incense offerings.
The heavenly thunder that could be summoned with 1,000 incense power was enough to decimate the entire Mother Buddha Temple.
Leaving the temple of the weasel, Li Muyang headed towards the Mother Buddha Temple.
According to Chu Qingxue, the Mother Buddha Temple was a strange temple located on Black Stone Mountain.
The Mother Buddha Temple rarely appears in front of people and is shrouded in mystery.
The most active and renowned outside the passes are those wandering immortals.
Li Muyang traveled along the main road with ease, not by riding the clouds or controlling the fog, but by moving alone through the mountains and forests at an extreme speed.
Occasionally, he could sense the presence of demons and strange creatures in the mountains, but Li Muyang did not engage with them.
These creatures only emerged from their lairs in confusion, watching as Li Muyang’s figure swiftly departed.
Some, deep in slumber or with weak senses, didn’t even notice someone passing through their territory.
After running wildly through the forests for an afternoon, it wasn’t until the night deepened and the moon shone brightly that Li Muyang caught sight of the silhouette of Black Stone Mountain.
Black Stone Mountain is a peculiar stone mountain, almost devoid of soil, composed of a massive block of pitch-black rock.
This colossal rock, hundreds of zhang tall, stretches across the horizon alongside the surrounding mountains.
But due to its unique appearance, Black Stone Mountain is incredibly conspicuous and can be seen from afar.
Even someone like Li Muyang, visiting for the first time, could not miss it.
However, upon reaching the base of Black Stone Mountain, Li Muyang did not hurry to ascend.
He stood in the forest, gazing at the scene atop the mountain from a distance.
The mountain, full of rugged rocks and with pine trees growing in the crevices, somewhat resembled Mount Huang in his previous life.
But this mountain, home to the Mother Buddha Temple, was filled with a strong, chilling aura.
This presence, contrary to that of evil spirits and monsters, made Li Muyang feel bone-chillingly cold, unfamiliar, and yet vaguely familiar.
It seemed he had encountered something similar somewhere before.
And this aura was of the same origin as that of the two imposters who had used Chu Qingxue’s name inside the passes.
However, the aura on Black Stone Mountain was much stronger and more intense.
It was as if thousands of evil women were seated within this dark stone mountain…
Dragon Maiden, uncertain, said, “Li Muyang, Black Stone Mountain is so terrifying, why would there be mortals living at its foot?”
